ring gear 125 is a member that is not rotatable relative to thecan 100. Thering gear 125 is supported by aholder 150 via acylindrical support member 126. - The
planetary gear 122 also meshes with an annularsecond ring gear 127. Thesecond ring gear 127 functions as an output gear which is fixed to therotary shaft 50. - The gear configuration described above constitutes what is known as a mechanical paradox planetary gear mechanism. In a reduction device using a mechanical paradox planetary gear mechanism, by setting the number of teeth of the
second ring gear 127 to be slightly different from the number of teeth of thering gear 125, the rotation speed of thesolar gear body 121 can be reduced by a large reduction ratio and transmitted to thesecond ring gear 127. - It should be noted that, although a mechanical paradox planetary gear mechanism is used as the
power transmission mechanism 120, any power transmission mechanism can be utilized as the power transmission mechanism between therotor member 64 and therotary shaft 50. A planetary gear mechanism other than a mechanical paradox planetary gear mechanism may be utilized as thepower transmission mechanism 120. - A connecting
member 52 is attached to the lower end of therotary shaft 50, and the connectingmember 52 and the upper end of thedriver 30 rotate integrally in the rotation direction, but are connected so as to be relatively movable in the axial direction. - A
male screw 31 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of thedriver 30. Themale screw 31 is screwed into afemale screw 41 provided on aguide member 40 that guides the driver. For this reason, when therotary shaft 50 and thedriver 30 rotate around the axis, thedriver 30 moves up and down while being guided by theguide member 40. In contrast, therotary shaft 50 is rotatably supported by thesolar gear body 121 or theguide member 40, and cannot move in the axial direction. - The
guide member 40 for guiding thedriver 30 is supported by theholder 150. - The lower end of the
driver 30 is rotatably connected to the upper end of thevalve body 10 via aball 160. As thedrivers 30 move upward or downward while rotating about the axis, thevalve body 10 moves upward or downward without rotating about the axis. - The
valve body 10 is urged upward by aspring member 170 disposed between thespring receiving member 172 attached to theopening 2 a of thelower base member 2 and thevalve body 10. - When the
driver 30 moves downward, thevalve body 10 is pushed downward against the urging force of thespring member 170 and displaced. In contrast, when thedriver 30 moves upward, thevalve body 10 is pushed upward by the urging force of thecoil 170 and displaced. - A
partition member 130 is disposed inside thecan 100. In addition, apermanent magnet 70 is disposed in an upper space of thecan 100 formed by thepartition member 130. Thepermanent magnet 70 is connected at the vicinity of the upper end of therotary shaft 50 that penetrates thepartition member 130. - With the above configuration, it is possible to drive the
valve body 10 by using the power from the steppingmotor 60. The amount of movement of thevalve body 10 in the direction along the axis L is proportional to the amount of rotation of therotary shaft 50 and thepermanent magnet 70. Accordingly, by measuring the rotation angle around the axis of thepermanent magnet 70 with theangle sensor 80 attached to the lower surface of thecontrol substrate 3, it is possible to accurately determine the position of thevalve body 10 in the direction along the axis L. - Since the
rotary shaft 50 and thepermanent magnet 70 do not move up and down with respect to theangle sensor 80, it is possible to accurately calculate the rotation angle of thepermanent magnet 70 using theangle sensor 80. - The lower portion of the hollow
cylindrical holder 150 is disposed in theopening 2 a of thelower base member 2. A packing 152 is disposed between theholder 150 and thelower base member 2. - Further, the
holder 150 is disposed so as to be in contact with the inner wall portion of the housing 4. In addition, a packing 154 is disposed between theholder 150 and the inner wall portion of the housing 4. - For this reason, the
holder 150 has a function of preventing the fluid from entering the space in which thestator member 62 and the like are disposed, and a function of accommodating theupper end portion 12 ofvalve body 10. - Next, the housing 4 will be described. The housing 4 includes a
cover member 4 a and a tube-shapedmember 4 b. The tube-shapedmember 4 b of the housing 4 is supported by a plate-shapedstay 5 bent in an L shape, one end of which is screwed to thelower base member 2. -
FIG. 2 is a bottom view of thecover member 4 a, andFIG. 3 is a perspective view of thecover member 4 a. Thecover member 4 a is formed by connecting alid portion 4 c, which is a flat plate having a trapezoidal shape and a rectangular shape joined together, and aninsertion portion 4 d having a tube-shaped cross-sectional shape similar to thelid portion 4 c. It is preferable that the thickness of thelid portion 4 c be 0.5 to 1.5 mm such that the laser light described later is easily transmitted. - The
cover member 4 a is a resin based on polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) or polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and is preferably formed from, for example, a second material having a laser light transmittance of 20 to 40%. It should be noted that thecover member 4 a may have the natural color of the material, but it is desirable to make thecover member 4 a black by adding a pigment such as carbon black to the material. - In
FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 , on the outer periphery of theinsertion portion 4 d, a plurality ofelongated ribs 4 g constituted by a raised part of the outer peripheral surface are formed on an outer peripheral surface other than the pair of outer peripheral surfaces along the longitudinal direction. - In
FIG. 1 , asupport portion 4 f is formed on the lower surface of thelid portion 4 c, and thecontrol substrate 3 is supported by thesupport portion 4 f. Thecontrol substrate 3 and thepower supply portion 63 are connected by a flexible board FP1. - The tube-shaped
member 4 b includes an upper tube-shapedportion 4 h having a cross-sectional shape similar to that of theinsertion portion 4 d, a lower tube-shapedportion 4 i extending downward from the upper tube-shapedportion 4 h, and aconnector portion 4 j extending horizontally from the lower end of the upper tube-shapedportion 4 h. Theterminals 4 k disposed inside theconnector portion 4 j are connected to thecontrol substrate 3 via a flexible board FP2. By connecting theconnector portion 4 j to a partner connector (not illustrated in the figure), power is supplied to thecontrol substrate 3 from an external power source, and the steppingmotor 60 can be driven. - The tube-shaped
member 4 b is a resin based on PPS or PBT, and has a laser light transmittance that is lower than that of thecover member 4 a. For example, the tube-shapedmember 4 b is preferably formed from a first material having a transmittance of less than or equal to 3%. - When the
cover member 4 a is joined, the rigidity of the tube-shapedmember 4 b is increased by using a stepped portion or a curved surface so that thecontrol substrate 3 can be positioned accurately. - Next, the joining of the
cover member 4 a and the tube-shapedmember 4 b will be described.FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the joining process of thecover member 4 a and the tube-shapedmember 4 b. As illustrated inFIG. 1 , after accommodating the necessary parts in the tube-shapedmember 4 b, as illustrated inFIG. 4 , theinsertion portion 4 d of thecover member 4 a to which thecontrol substrate 3 is attached is fitted inside theupper end 4 m of the tube-shapedmember 4 b, and thelid portion 4 c is brought into contact with theupper end 4 m. - In this state, the glass flat plate GS is placed on the upper surface of the
lid portion 4 c and pressed toward theupper end 4 m of the tube-shapedmember 4 b. In order to press thelid portion 4 c such that no gaps are formed throughout the entire periphery between thelid portion 4 c and theupper end 4 m, it is desirable that the upper surface of thelid portion 4 c is flat and thelid portion 4 c is pressed using a flat plate. Meanwhile, in order to efficiently transmit the laser beam LB, it is desirable to use glass. Accordingly, in order to satisfy both of these requirements, the glass flat plate GS is used as a jig for pressing thelid portion 4 c. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 4(b) , a laser beam LB is emitted from above, passes through the glass flat plate GS and thelid portion 4 c, and irradiates the surface of theupper end 4 m. Here, thelid portion 4 c, which is the heat receiving portion, is formed of a second material that substantially transmits the laser beam LB. - On the other hand, since the
upper end 4 m, which is the heat generation portion, is formed of the first material which absorbs the laser light LB, the irradiated portion generates heat, exceeds the glass transition point of the material and melts. In addition, thelid portion 4 c, which is the heat receiving portion, is heated and melted by the heat generated at the portion irradiated with the laser beam at theupper end 4 m. Subsequently, when the irradiation of the laser beam LB ceases, the two melted materials cool and solidify, and welding of theupper end 4 m and thelid portion 4 c is accomplished. The irradiation of the laser beam LB is performed along the entire periphery along theupper end 4 m of the tube-shapedmember 4 b, and may be repeated a plurality of times. - At this time, as illustrated in
FIG. 4(b) , because the outer peripheral surface of thelid portion 4 c protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of theupper end 4 m with a distance Δ along a direction intersecting the irradiation direction of the laser beam LB, even if burrs are generated due to the melting of the heat generation portion and grow outward, the interference of the laser beam LB by the burrs is suppressed. As a result, deterioration of the appearance quality due to scorching of burrs or adhesion to the outer surface can be suppressed. - In addition, since the
ribs 4 g are formed on theinsertion portion 4 d of thecover member 4 a, when theinsertion portion 4 d is fitted inside the tube-shapedmember 4 b, theribs 4 g come into contact with the inner wall of the tube-shapedmember 4 b in addition to theinsertion portion 4 d, thereby providing a positioning function in addition to making it possible to suppress rattling of thecover member 4 a side with respect to the tube-shapedmember 4 b. As a result, theangle sensor 80 attached to thecover member 4 a side and thepermanent magnet 70 disposed on the tube-shapedmember 4 b side can be accurately positioned. - Further, since the contact between the
ribs 4 g and the inner wall of the tube-shapedmember 4 b suppresses the rattling of thecover member 4 a with respect to the tube-shapedmember 4 b, coupled with the fact that the outer peripheral surface of thelid 4 c protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of theupper end 4 m at a distance Δ, the influence of burrs can be further suppressed. - It should be noted that, although the use of ultrasonic welding techniques for welding the
cover member 4 a and the tube-shapedmember 4 b can also be considered, there is a risk that thecontrol substrate 3 or the like may be damaged due to the vibration caused by the application of ultrasonic waves. In contrast, according to the present embodiment, since welding is performed using a laser beam LB, there is no influence due to vibrations. Further, since the irradiation area can be kept small by performing irradiation using a laser beam LB with a narrow diameter, it is possible to avoid the influence of heat generated by the heat generation portion on thecontrol substrate 3 or the like. - In particular, by performing irradiation using a laser beam LB with a narrow diameter, even in the case that the wall thickness of the
upper end 4 m is thin, it is possible to perform joining reliably, such that even if the tube-shaped member is small, high sealing performance can be obtained without using a separate component such as a packing or the like. - Hereinafter, the
electric valve 1A according to the second embodiment will be described. The present embodiment has a different housing shape from the above-described embodiment, and does not have an angle sensor. The same materials as those in the above-described embodiment can be used as the first material and the second material. The same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those in the above-described embodiment, and a redundant description thereof will be omitted. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating an overview of theelectric valve 1A according to the second embodiment. Thehousing 4A includes a housing main body 4Aa for accommodating the drive system of theelectric valve 1A, and a substrate holding portion 4Ab for holding thecontrol substrate 3. - The hollow tube-shaped housing body 4Aa includes an annular portion 4Ac formed by a part of the outer periphery projecting thereof in an annular shape. The
power supply portion 63 protrudes outward through the annular portion 4Ac. - The housing-shaped substrate holding portion 4Ab includes a bottomed tube-shaped member 4Ad, a cover member 4Ae that shields the end portion of the tube-shaped member 4Ad, and a connector portion 4Af which is joined to the tube-shaped member 4Ad.
- A circular concave portion 4Ag that fits with the annular portion 4Ac is formed on the bottom wall of the tube-shaped member 4Ad. Further, the circular concave portion 4Ag and the inside of the tube-shaped member 4Ad communicate with each other by the communication hole 4Ah.
- The cover member 4Ae is formed by connecting a lid portion 4Ai, which is a flat plate, and a tube-shaped insertion portion 4Aj in a continuous fashion.
- The inner end of the terminal 4Ak disposed inside the connector portion 4Af is connected to the
control substrate 3 disposed in the tube-shaped member 4Ad. Thecontrol substrate 3 is supported by and electrically coupled to thepower supply portion 63 that penetrates the annular portion 4Ac from the inside of the housing body 4Aa and extends into the tube-shaped member 4Ad through the communication hole 4Ah. - Next, the manufacturing process of the
housing 4A will be described.FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the manufacturing process of thehousing 4A. - Here, the tube-shaped member 4Ad of the substrate holding portion 4Ab is formed of a first material M1 having a low light transmittance and a second material M2 having a high light transmittance. More specifically, in
FIG. 6 , the periphery of the circular concave portion of the tube-shaped member 4Ad (indicated by the white-outlined cross-section) is formed from the second material M2, and the other portions of the tube-shaped member 4Ad (indicated by the dotted cross-section) are formed from the first material M1. - When the first material M1 and the second material M2 are each made of resin, such a tube-shaped member 4Ad can be molded by two-color molding in which materials are simultaneously injected and molded, or alternatively by insert molding or the like, in which one material is inserted into the other material and molded.
- The adhesiveness of the resin material can be improved by forming the joint portion between the first material M1 and the second material M2 into a triangular shape or a convex shape. Further, in the case of insert molding, by reducing the volume of the resin material to be molded later with respect to the volume of the resin material to be molded first, the material temperature can be maintained, so that the degree of adhesion can be further improved.
- On the other hand, the housing body 4Aa (at least the annular portion 4Ac) is formed of the first material M1, and the cover member 4Ae is formed of the second material M2.
- During the manufacturing process of the
housing 4A, as illustrated inFIG. 6(a) , the circular concave portion 4Ag of the tube-shaped member 4Ad from which the cover member 4Ae and thecontrol substrate 3 have been removed is fitted into the annular portion 4Ac of the housing body 4Aa. - While maintaining such a state, the laser beam LB is emitted from the tube-shaped member 4Ad side, transmitted through the second material M2, and irradiated on the annular portion 4Ac. As a result, the annular portion 4Ac can be welded to the tube-shaped member 4Ad.
- After the welding of the entire periphery of the annular portion 4Ac is completed, as illustrated in
FIG. 6(b) , thecontrol substrate 3 is connected to thepower supply portion 63 and the terminal 4Ak by soldering or the like and held in the tube-shaped member 4Ad. Further, after covering the end portion of the tube-shaped member 4Ad with the cover member 4Ae, the laser beam LB is emitted, transmitted through the lid portion 4Ai of the cover member 4Ae, and irradiates the end portion of the tube-shaped member 4Ad. By irradiating the cover member 4Ae with the laser beam LB over the entire periphery, the tube-shaped member 4Ad can be welded to the lid portion 4Ai. - It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Within the scope of the present invention, it is possible to freely combine the above-described embodiments, modify any component of each embodiment, or omit any component in each embodiment.
